I agree with Colin the datetime representation should be more
intuitive, but we should stick to one layout. I use the following
format now:
date [[year-]month-day] [hour:minute[:second]]
date is separated by `-' , and time `:', year and second part can be omitted.

I'm also a fan of ISO 8601, which has similarities to that
above format

It did remind me since it has optional time zone info, that
time zones exist :-) ... does GRUB have any idea what the
local timezone is, or will it have to require the time-zone
part? What about whether the hardware clock is UTC or
local-time?
